I must find my notes and update this review later, but I found it quite helpful in planning my lessons with regard to reading levels and how to incorporate text passages across the curriculum for my students who have little time for reading in their daily work lives.

Quick skim shows classic reading ed: prior knowledge, motivation, word study, text structures, text features - all presented within the idea that the teacher must model to instruct. Bit of a neuroscience twist thrown in. I'm looking forward to the online discussion through the IRA website.

Central to learning activities in the web 2.0 world is collaborative learning and group work. It is at the center of much of the inquiry teacher librarians promote. It is a central skill in education to work ideas because so many businesses and industries depend on group skills to create, innovate, manage, and be successful. Thus, this book is a core work to be read by every teacher librarian and used in professional learning communities. What if a fair percentage of children or teens are shirking in their groups? What is to be done? Listing the chapter titles will help the reader grasp why this is such an important book: Defining productive group work, Using positive interdependence, Promoting face-to-face interaction, Insuring group and individual accountability, Building interpersonal and social group skills, Incorporating group processing, and Getting started. So, get a copy and study it chapter by chapter and start using the skills discussed by this expert team of writers. It is one major way of ensuring that learning experiences designed for collaborative co-teaching by teachers and teacher librarians will be successful and contribute to every student’s growth and development as learners. A must read and purchase.… (more)
